Well I got my hands on a roller 94 Formula back in 2006. I sold it to a buddy that put money down on it in 2007. Repoed it in late summer 2009. What to do with it now right since roller 94 Formulas are worth even less now. Hmmm Then I lucked into a 99 LS1. Soooo The decision was made Resurrect it into a LS1!!! I've been collecting parts that I needed and now I'm really close to having it all and so it's began. But I really hate the Formula Bumpers and low spoiler. So yes LT1 Trans Am LS1 powered conversion!!! Over the next couple months I will be assemling it . Wish me luck haha

Figured I'd show a picture of the finished product... its working perfect except the alternator. it starts charging at 14.4 and after it gets warmer the gauge goes down to 12.5

looks good, although i liked the formy bumpers better. i like the ta hatch though.
good job. should have cleaned the bay up before dropping the motor in too.
